My general feeling, since you asked, is that this falls along the same lines as Magic of Incarnum (and, for that matter Psionics); If you allow into your game, your campaign should have a place for these powers - NPCs, bad guys, monsters, history, background, etc. The problem with inserting...

Can you be in melee combat with a foe, fighting defensively, and select an enemy mage across the room for your dodge enemy and use melee evasion against his ray spells? Thanks ~D (Feat is from the PHB II)

don't put your torch into the dark mouth of the green demon face on the wall. just... don't. ~D

I suppose "information" can be construed to be untrue or true but how do you adjucate this? Low rolls = Untruths? Truths and Untruths interspersed at each roll level (10/15/20/25/30)? It says higher rolls produce "better" information.. Can you only "gather information" regarding one subject...

Undead? With an Enchanter? m-guy, that was my question too. I would trade out the undead for charmed goblins and orcs respectively. Additionally, it might be funny to have them delay until the elf screams at them - "you incompetent buffoons! your supposed to be killing them!" "oh sure thing...

....er, of course an ape is.... large. doh. ~D

thanks thanee; Could an ape wield a weapon? (best = best combination of strength, con, and AC with relatively decent damage potential; grapple/trip stuff is nice... but basics are the focus)

what is the best combat-oriented animal form for a 5th level druid? any wotc books (non faerun) are fine. thanks very much ~D

endurance rocks worst feat? i guess it just depends on the situation. toughness is reasonable for a first level elven wizard with a poor con for example (say "hi" to my little friend.. er, toad). That said - I want to throw in my hat in for endurance. Especially if human or a fighter. At...

Wouldn't you draw an AOO from moving back? Additionally, why would you get an AOO when they move up unless you had reach? ~D

This is a 2E Sage response but another data point. ~D Dragon 210, page 96:

Nope not talking Devils at all. And no "B's" to be found in the MM. OK - So the Bebilith and Hamatula both have improved grapple without "improved unarmed strike". Even if the stat block does not include the bonus (oddly the bebilith does not include the bonus in its +29 grapple and the...

quick question: does a creature (say, a giant with a slam attack; eg. it is considered armed (with a "natural weapon") even when unarmed) need the feat improved unarmed strike to gain the feat, improved grapple? Thanks ~D

quick point of clarification: 1. a ranger/wizard casts a scorching ray at a favored enemy - Does he get the bonus damage? for each ray? 2. a ranger/wizard casts a magic missile at a favored enemy - Does he get the bonus damage? for each missile? 3. a ranger/wizard casts a lightning bolt at a...

Thanks dcollins - Here is what I have so far. I am thinking the PC thrown into the maiden may get a save to hop out before getting entrapped. So, once within range, the giant needs only two successful grapples, (1) to get a hold, (2) to throw in, and the slam-shut is a reflex save for the PC...

I agree with this. Couldn't resist recalling the movie "Dragonslayer" (1981), starring Ralph Richardson (also seen in "Time Bandits" as the Supreme Being). Even with better lighting conditions, the dragon was able to sneak up on the wizard and in the end, perform a nice snatch maneuver (which...

Summon Monster V most likely. ~D

From 1E Rules Module (Hall of the Fire Giant King): I am converting this to 3.5E rules (in rather more detail than I have seen elsewhere) and need some advice how to adjucate the above actions. If I break it down: CONDITIONS: Giant and victim ("the adventurer", a medium-sized humanoid) are...

Right you are! p.122 DMG 1st Ed. "Wand of Magic Missiles (any)" The "(any)" denoted "usable by any class"; whereas (C), (F), or (M) would have designated cleric, fighter, or magic-user respectively. ~D
